Biography
Brendon Whitmill was born in 1748 in Boston, Massachusetts. He became a member of the Templar Order in addition to being an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Whitmill was sent to garrison Boston with some line infantry by George Washington to prevent him from harming other officers or soldiers, as he was known for his cruelty against his foes. Whitmill remained in garrison duty in Boston, where the Templars were hiding as the war raged on. In 1783, after the war ended, many Templar couriers such as Carter Gracie and Clarence Burningham were assassinated by Assassin Order mentor Ratonhnhake:ton, leader of the Colonial Assassins. He was next on his hit list.

Death
Whitmill was on patrol with a unit of Continental Army troops at the docks of Boston in late November 1783 when the Assassins chose to strike. Ratonhnhake:ton and Stephane Chapheau incited a riot amongst the American and German civilians in the port, causing the Second Boston Harbor Riot. Whitmill led his detachment of soldiers to the scene to end the riot, but he was eyed by Ratonhnhake:ton and fought him in a duel. Amidst the confusion, Whitmill was unable to deal any blows with his sword or even defend himself, and Ratonhnhake:ton dealt him a mortal wound with his assassin's hidden blades.
